PUBLIC CONSUMPTION. 61 CHAPTER IIL PUBLIC CONSUMPTION, The Nature of Public Consumption. Undei the social instinct mankind gather and live in com- munities. This gives rise to certain common wants, which are provided for by public agents of the government, using means drawn from those who comp
...ose the society or state, by taxation.

It is to be remembered that the values thus destro3'ed are a pai't of the property of individual citizens taken for public use. In gen- eral, the government has nothing to expend but what is contributed by its tax-paying citizens.
